New book doubts JFK assassination probe
http://nypost.com/2013/10/15/new-book-doubts-jfk-assassination-probe/
A new book raises doubts about a 1979 congressional probe
that concluded President John F. Kennedy’s assassination 50 years ago was the
result of an undefined conspiracy.
The book, “The Kennedy Half Century” by prominent political
science professor Larry Sabato of the University
of Virginia, questions the conclusion
by the House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations that a shot
was fired at Kennedy from the so-called “grassy knoll” on November 22, 1963, in
Dallas.

Caroline Kennedy sells out Camelot
http://nypost.com/2013/09/22/caroline-kennedy-sells-out-camelot/
As the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination approaches,
so does the merchandising onslaught — books, movies, commemorative magazines.
But there is one aspect of this commercialism that remains
surprising: The most
shameless huckster of Kennedy mythology and memorabilia is
Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg.
Her public image is that of the classy, quiet keeper of the
Kennedy legacy, the civic-minded former lawyer who publishes books on poetry
while her cousins crash into trees and kick nurses. With the bar for Kennedy
comportment set so low, it’s almost impossible for Caroline not to look good.
